Exploring art events in and around NYC

Independent 2011

The second edition of Independent took place on three floors of the old DIA Chelsea space at 548 West 22nd Street from March 3rd-6th. With over 40 international galleries presenting solo and group exhibits, the Independent's layout catered to "the spacial and curatorial concerns" of its participants. Open to the public, the free-of-charge fair brought in huge crowds on its opening night Thursday, making snapping pics a little difficult. Also tricky—the lack of labels, so identifying artists and works (and sometimes galleries) was a bit of a challenge.
